All us SDF rendering enthusiasts should have some kind of virtual conference so we can compare notes on what we've all tried and save each other a lot of time. We could call it something fancy like SIGSDF (Special Interest Group Signed Distance Frobs).

We could start with just the "well, that didn't quite work" track for now, unless anyone's actually managed to solve it and is willing to share.

Now, that's "special interest" in the autism sense, not in the ACM sense, if there's a difference.

I suppose the difference is whether or not there's a $200/year subscription fee

ok so virtual conferences are a lot of work to run still. what if we just do a pretend conference. like, everyone who wants to submit a talk just record it and put it on youtube or something and then tell the event organizer about the talk's existence before the deadline to get it included in the event proceedings, and then on the day of the event the listing is made public and maybe we hang out in a chat room or something?

This could work, as long as all the videos are then released in some sort of logical order, so any related chat is syncronised with the video, logical order could be in sync also with the timezone of the presenter so they can be on chat / here etc when the video is released.

I know on peertube it is possible to shedule the video release for example.

I have the data detox workshop slides, i can upload to big blue button, and make a presentation, i just feel that I need an audience in the room (even 1 or 2 people) so I don't feel I am talking to myself. You may find others have the same awkward feeling trying to present to a invisible audience.

This video could then be recorded and put on peertube
